Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for providing an enterprise crawl and search framework, including features such as use with middleware and enterprise application environments, pluggable security, search development tools, user interfaces, and governance. The system includes an enterprise crawl and search framework which abstracts an underlying search engine, provides a common set of APIs for developing search functionalities, and allows the framework to serve as an integration layer between one or more enterprise search engines and one or more enterprise applications. A computing environment can be used to display a global universal search box. A user can input search queries into the search box, which are then executed against crawled and/or searched data provided by the framework, and results, in the form of data represented by those searchable objects to which the user has entitlement to view, are returned dynamically, to update the contents of the search box.
